Performer: Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Greg Lake (vocals, guitar); Keith Emerson (keyboards); Carl Palmer (drums, percussion). A sort of supergroup from its onset in 1969, the supremely balanced Emerson, Lake & Palmer developed a particularly dynamic and versatile brand of progressive rock. The 2008 greatest-hits compilation, COME AND SEE THE SHOW, opens on the track from which it gets its name, "Karn 9," a catchy carnival-esque number prominently featured in a Dr. Pepper commercial the previous year. The rest of the compilation provides a perfect entry point to the revered band.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer were one of the most popular of the initial wave of 1970s British prog-rock bands. They sported post-British Invasion rock's first alternative to the guitar hero in Keith Emerson, whose outlandish keyboard antics rivaled the onstage pyrotechnics of Hendrix and Townshend. The group mixed heavy rock riffs with classical influences, relying equally on instrumental virtuosity and an epic sense of showmanship that won them countless fans in their '70s heyday.
